Even if it didn't, I wouldn't give up the features for less weight. I will likely be going to a CF barrel to shave some more weight....but the big FFP scope and Detachable Mags stay.

Spence You know what Spence nobody [bleep] cares what you like, or don't like. The man posted that a scope was on sale. That might just be of interest to some and no so to others. I get it, you don't use that scope, and have no use for it, and will never have a use for it. So just pass the post on by. But no, you and other [bleep] have to [bleep] up this post multiple times about how heavy it is for YOU. Hint: Nobody but you, cares about your needs or your uses for this or any other scope. Some of us appreciate that the OP took the time and effort to let others know about a good deal. You and others apparently have nothing better to do....

But I like my triggers set at 1.5 lbs, so that may be why I've not had any issues. Currently have a TT Special flat shoe, set at 1.5 lbs.

OP Ndbowhunter Campfire Regular N Joined: Apr 2020 Posts: 1,257	We talking shooting matches or all rounder where shots are at dark 30? If the pro was illuminated i’d Agree either way. And I’m not a fan of relying on illumination to make up for reticle shortcomings. Batteries die when ya don’t want them to. But that g3 reticle is pretty fine at lower magnifications and pretty Hard to center up at dark thirty without magnification But not every scope has to be good at hunting at dusk.

Matches and shooting in good light. I would certainly not choose the DMRII Pro for shooting at dusk and dawn against complex backgrounds.
